Hp Sata Controller Driver

Determine the type of processor in the computer, then search for and download the latest SATA AHCI driver from the processor manufacturer's web site. Some SATA AHCI drivers are available on the www.hp.com web site. For additional information, HP Notebook PCs - Locating HP Software, Driver and BIOS Updates.

  • An AHCI is a hardware technical standard defined by Intel to specify SATA (Serial ATA). It is a host bus adapter and is made to provide a standardized way to detect, configure and programme adapters. Methods To Download Standard AHCI Controller Driver. To download Standard AHCI Controller Driver, there are different methods available.
  • Nov 13, 2015  I finally narrowed it down to the AHCI driver Windows 10 installs for the AMD SATA Controller. I downloaded and installed the latest AMD chipset driver 15.7.1, but the installer doesn't update the AHCI driver. I had to manually update the driver in device manager and point it to where the installer extracted the drivers. Once I did that it.

My friend handed my this laptop, yes it was a walmart laptop. He had no idea what was wrong with it, but he had removed the harddrive to replace a dead one from another laptop. So, no harddrive. After tinkering around with it for a while I finally noticed what was wrong, fixed it, replaced a bad ram chip, and vwalla. It worked.

Now I have a problem: The only harddrive I have laying around, is an extra solid state drive that I had purchased initially for my desktop. It is a Mushkin Callisto Deluxe 40GB. This laptop isn't exactly anything to write home about, but I figure it could be useful on occasion. It's got HDMI after all, that's always a perk. My HP Elitebook 2740p doesn't even have that. :/ If anything, I could use it as a net-box for my TV.

Problem starts with the BIOS. This is the most basic BIOS I've ever had the misery of dealing with. There are no actual options to toggle, so naturally there's no AHCI option. I understand that this is a walmart model laptop, but seriously... this is just ridiculous.

Without an AHCI option, I can't install windows 7 on the ssd.

I managed to update the bios from 363F F.03 to 363F F.15.

I have used the shift+f10 menu in an attempt to diskpart.


What it comes down to, is that I can't find this dang driver. The AMD website only has an .exe format for the drivers, which basically says 'install windows, then install the drivers that you need to install windows'. I need the AHCI DRIVER... not an EXE.
